Wolfer Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) I put a small pillow under their head and have them look to one side. I've not had complaints yet. I do the same when I'm getting the massage. It's not a sleeping pillow, mind you, but a very thin throw pillow I got originally for my sofa. Edited May 13 by Wolfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having my head turned to one side gives me a stiff neck pretty quickly. Simon Suraci and Hot4latin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Masseurs without tables should invest in something like this. It could easily be covered with a hotel towel. Johnrom and MikeBiDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ JamesB Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 You can actually get a face cradle that attaches to the bed for like $100 on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really dislike face cradles, even on a table. They give me major cramps in my neck muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one wish for face cradles on massage tables is that they provide a better view, especially if the masseur is nude. 😜 GHart, Johnrom, Simon Suraci and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one massage where all I could see was the masseur's feet, and a tiny bit of cheese he'd missed when cleaning up after eating.

jeezifonly Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Had two bed-massages with different providers. It’s neither pleasant at the time, nor effective as therapeutic work for my body. No table, no thanks.

Rod Hagen Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) I don't want to make you feel like shit, but unless the masseur states he prefers massage done on a bed, or simply doesn't have a table, bed massages, instead of table massages, are a crippling strain on the masseurs back and general body. It would surprise me when, occasionally, a client would prefer to not use the cradle. OUCH! Edited May 16 by Rod Hagen Simon Suraci 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or…invest in hiring a masseur who provides a real, purpose built, high quality, full size massage table for you - a sign he takes his job seriously. + JamesB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie21 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I much prefer to use a table but on out calls some clients simply don’t have space for the table or they specifically want to use the bed. If they’re paying then I think it’s their prerogative to choose but I always suggest it’s a better massage experience on the table. Some people aren’t too bothered about the massage experience though and are more interested in other aspects… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ JamesB Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I always expect a masseur to have a massage table for both in-call and out-call appointments. However, there are exceptions, particularly when the masseur is traveling by plane. In such cases, I expect them to at least have a face cradle bed attachment.
